Changing Stem Length and Bar Height

Do you have a regularly ridden go fast club ride or training bike with a lower and longer stem compared to your dedicated long distance bike? I'm very likely overthinking this but:

Is there any downside to doing most of my training rides of 100-130 miles on my regular road bike and then some training and a SR series on my Rando Bike with a stem 2-3 cm. shorter and 2-3 cm taller? I feel good with my standard road fit for long rides (100-130m) and used it on my 200ks and on a 300k a few years ago no problem. Raising the bars 3cm will shorten the reach some while using the same stem length. So I guess another way to ask my question is, "Do you lower the stem on your long distance bike when you do some shorter faster rides?"
